Ok this is our little sweet girl.

Her name is Daisy "jackel" Baker. Shes bout 1.5 years old now and we got her at 8 weeks old. We think she is chow chow/ lab/ pit or boxer. I would like to know what breeds yall think she is? "jackel" refers to her nature to play with her teeth when very excited. she weighs 55 lbs. Also tell me if she is cute or not lol. She is also my hiking and camping buddie.

my un-educated opinion would be boxer-lab. i have a boxer pit that show some resemblence to baker, save for bakers coat looks more lab-esque, as does some of her face.

She has colors like a Rhodesian Ridgeback and If I am not mistaken the white chest hair is common on Rhodesians, and then possibly Boxer or Pitt....due to the build...Here is a pic although they come in some shade variations. It's just a thought

This is a tough one, but Buddha makes some very good points, particularly that distinctive color being seen pretty much only on Rhodies.

Although, in lieu of boxer, the ear-shape and flat head looks more bull terrier to me. But I'd concede that in a heartbeat.

Of course, your cute pup may be second generation mutt, and there could be 4 breeds mixing it up here.

I forgot to meantion she has a purple spotted tonuge

The purple spotted tongue is a good indicator of Lab. (Labs only have spots where as chows can have a completely purple tongue) and she does have the color of a Rhodie. So I'm gonna say Lab/Rhodie mix.

My guess, and it's a guess would be a mix of three, lab, pit (front and hind quarters of a pitt, and some head shape characteristics) and rhodesian....has the wringled forehead, color, chest marking, etc similar to rhodesian. Either way she's a cutie! Dogs are some of my favorite people! How do her teeth look, does she have any signs of pit teeth characteristics?

Ive had 4 full blood Labs and not a spotted tongue in the bunch but Ive seen Chow crosses with spotted tongues and in the same color as your dog.---KV

Might have some Vizla in her too, although they tend to be a little leaner.

My guess would be pit and lab. I have had some labs with that color vs yellow black or chocolate. Nice dog. I have a lab rotty mix right now with spotted tongue.
